Hello,
My system is dual boot (Debian and Windows 7). On Windows OS, I worked with Eraser (https://eraser.heidi.ie/) and wanted to select a Flash Drive, but mistakenly, selected Drive C. System hanged and when I rebooted the system manually then, the system show me below error:
I booted my system with Ubuntu Live CD and tried to fix it, but all of my partitions are removed:
Are they removed really? Why Linux can't boot? How to fix it?
Partition table is just a small chunk of data in the beginning of drive, in case of MBR it is located in the first sector. You erase the first sector and there won't be any partitioning left. The data on your drive would still be intact, if you write this partition table back all partitions and files will reappear. If you deleted more than the first sector then the damage is greater and some files will be lost for good.
